Solve for x.

Question

Graph the solution. 
5x+1<4x-3

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by subtracting 4x from both sides of the inequality to isolate the x term:

5x + 1 - 4x < 4x - 3 - 4x

This simplifies to:

x + 1 < -3

Next, we can subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality:

x + 1 - 1 < -3 - 1

This simplifies to:

x < -4

The solution for x is x < -4.

To graph the solution, we can draw a number line and label an open circle at -4 to represent that -4 is not included in the solution. Then, shade to the left of -4 to represent all the x values that satisfy the inequality.
